All piracy is ethical because Intellectual Property is a lie.
I will pirate from megacorps and indies, anyone who sets up a demand based distribution system for products.
The only products I will not pirate are those that have a needs based distribution system and are finite.
Question about this: if there's no IP, what is the motivation for creating media or game content?
Creative drive, I'd say. Some people simply like making stuff
But even people who like making stuff would be able to devote more time to their work if they were given the means to sustain themselves through their work without needing to work another job, wouldn't they?
@Sentrovasi @matey @Schooner @vis4valentine @Parched_Monkey abolish capitalism
Sounds like your issue is with capitalism, not the removal of IP.
